AddonLoader

16 - LDB launcher and text field

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a mod with an LDB feed with a text field and use addonloader recommended procedure to make it LOD
2. When you use ldb:GetDataObjectByName() to get the DO made by addonloader it has no text field
3. Therefore when you try to access the text field to display your text you will usually get a nil error because obj.text does not exist

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using?

Do you have an error log of what happened?

Please provide any additional information below.
The only way I have found around this is to create 2 different LDB feeds one for addonloader and one for the mod proper but this obviously isn't great. Is there some way to make this work that I am missing?

Or you could of course allow authors to choose what type of feed they want "launcher" or "data source". Currently this totally breaks any addon that uses the text field if you use addonloader and LDB loading.
